# MSNBC host (Tiffany Cross) states that 4th of July is “Independence for White Men” and compares Trump voters to “Colonizing Slave Owners”. In her words: "And so here we are celebrating the birth of a nation, independence for white men at a site described by one native American activists as 'a symbol of white supremacy.' Trump choosing Mount Rushmore for a 4th of July campaign stop is just like when he chose Tulsa, the site of the 1921 massacre against black Americans, for his Juneteenth weekend rally. It’s that cool, tired and familiar jab to black, brown and indigenous people that makes the shrinking MAGA voter feel as big as a 60-foot face of a colonizing slave owner.” <ref>Cross, Tiffany. (July 5, 2020). Tiffany Cross filling-in for Joy Reid on MSNBC's This Weekend</ref>
